More quotes by Alan Watts
We cannot be more sensitive to pleasure without being more sensitive to pain.
Alan Watts
The point is seeing that THIS - the immediate, everyday and present experience - is IT, the entire and ultimate point for the existence of a universe. I believe that if this state of consciousness could become more universal, the pretentious nonsense which passes for the serious business of the world would dissolve in laughter.
Alan Watts
But the attitude of faith is to let go, and become open to truth, whatever it might turn out to be.
Alan Watts
The biggest ego trip is getting rid of your ego, and of course the joke of it all is that your ego does not exist.
Alan Watts
For a decision-the freest of my actions just happens like hiccups inside me or like a bird singing outside me.
Alan Watts
Lack of love for the vegetative, subtle, cthonic, pagan, and sexy aspect of the world means death.
Alan Watts
The Universe is the game of the self, which plays hide and seek forever and ever.
Alan Watts
There is nothing at all that can be talked about adequately, and the whole art of poetry is to say what can't be said.
Alan Watts
Conscious attention is a designed function of the brain which scans the environment for any trouble making changes. If you identify yourself with your trouble shooter, then naturally you define yourself as being in a perpetual state of anxiety.
Alan Watts
Just as the highest and the lowest notes are equally inaudible, so perhaps, is the greatest sense and the greatest nonsense equally unintelligible.
Alan Watts
You are that vast thing that you see far, far off with great telescopes.
Alan Watts
When you look out of your eyes at nature happening out there...You're looking at you.
Alan Watts
The world is a marvelous system of wiggles.
Alan Watts
But at any rate, the point is that God is what nobody admits to being, and everybody really is. If you awaken from this illusion, and you understand that black implies white, self implies other, life implies death - or shall I say, death implies life - you can conceive yourself.
Alan Watts
The world is in an extremely dangerous situation, and serious diseases often require the risk of a dangerous cure like the Pasteur serum for rabies.
Alan Watts
You are the universe experiencing itself.
Alan Watts
In life as well as in art Zen never wastes energy in stopping to explain it only indicates.
Alan Watts
The menu is not the meal.
Alan Watts
Take a deep breath and tell us your deepest, darkest secret, so we can wipe our brow and know that we're not alone.
Alan Watts
You can't get wet from the word 'water.'
Alan Watts
